need a recommendation for a shoulder strap double sling system that will carry two cameras and not have them move around alot during walking. one camera the t4i will have a wide angle lens(18-135mm) the other the canon 70d will have a small telephoto(55-250mm).Yes, i could carry around one camera and just switch lenses like i did today,but it is easier for that shot(on a 2x sling that comes up suddenly) and keeps the internal of the camera cleaner. Also would like to carry my canon sx40 point and shoot around for long shots as i do not have a long lense in my budget right now. any suggestions. Yes i could do a search on the site,but i prefer input with those who have field experience with these systems. Thanks!!

I am happy with Optech. Tried a couple of others before finding them.

I use the Op Tech double sling and it works great for 2 cameras. Sling lengths can be adjusted and unclipped to become separate shoulder slings by replacing the shoulder harness with single shoulder pads.

The only drawback with any double harness is that if you are walking a lot, the cameras will tend to swing around a bit.


I too use the Optech Double Sling. I cannot praise it high enough.
Optech also have a strap that attaches to your waist belt loop, so when walking etc. the camera is held close to your body. Check out their website.

Thanks jolly roger for the link to optech using the uniloop to stabilize your camera to your belt loop !! have a Good One!! I am still concerned about the cameras sliding along the ground when stooping down to take some images. (using the double sling) It looks like two holster camera holders hooked to a military belt using heavy duty suspenders to stabilize my pants might be my best option for my needs. Thanks again!!
